[00:04.70]And now the weather forecast for Tuesday 24th,June.

[00:08.96]Cooler and drier air over the northwest will advance towards the east on Tuesday.

[00:14.52]But as it does so which will meet warm and moist 2 air already in place.

[00:19.70]Resulting in showers and wind storms.

[00:22.65]Thunderstorms are possible in areas from the southern states to the northeastern states.

[00:28.50]Well we might see some pretty bad weather with white snow and strong winds.

[00:33.96]Perhaps even some storms.

[00:36.52]The showers and thunderstorms that hit the midwest on Monday,

[00:40.88]may still be around part of Tuesday.

[00:44.23]But will disappear during the afternoon

[00:47.39]Comfortable temperatures around 75 degrees are forecast for the south,

[00:52.53]68-72 for the midwest,and similar temperatures for northeast.

[00:59.01]While higher temperatures up to 88 will be found in the east,along the coast.

[01:05.54]While the southwest may see some rain or even thunderstorms.

[01:09.90]The rest of the west will be hot,with temperatures over 100 degrees,

[01:15.05]and no hope for the cooling shower.

[01:17.61]Far to the southeast,the storm,

[01:20.48]which had a look as if it will grow into a hurricane 3,fell apart on Monday.

[01:25.84]This year has already seen an unusually high number of hurricanes 4.

[01:30.59]Hurricane Danny in the Atlantic Ocean last week,

[01:34.35]has put 2,003 in third place behind 1997,and 1959,

[01:41.02]for having the most tropical 5 storms or hurricanes this early in the season.

[01:46.76]The first storm usually arrives towards the end of August.

[01:50.89]So Danny formed on Wednesday.

[01:53.84]Came a month and a half early.

[01:56.19]If the fifth named storm,the E storm,develops before July 22nd,

[02:02.25]this year will have the hurricane season with the fastest start.

[02:06.51]It's name would be Eric.

[02:08.86]The hurricane season is from June first to the end of November.

[02:13.41]A typical Atlantic hurricane season has ten named storms.

[02:18.97]Six hurricanes and two major hurricanes.

[02:22.42]The latter can be a real disaster when they hit the coast.

[02:26.16]Tropical storms such as hurricanes and Typhoons 7

[02:30.13]are given names to avoid confusion 8.

[02:33.18]Their names start with letters in the order of alphabet 9.

[02:37.26]The first five storms in 2005 will be named Alin,Brett,Syndy, Denis,and Emily.

[03:25.24]With a bit of common Sansan and taking the right measures,

[03:29.19]Typhoon 6 is need not be a big problem.

[03:32.64]A:So,what should you do when you know a typhoon is coming up?

[03:46.64] that don't let any water through.

[03:49.30]Buy some extra food in metal or in glass containers,

[03:53.12]and keep a torch,batteriesa first-aid kit,a radio and such things ready.

[03:59.07]A:What else do you do when you know there will be another typhoon?

[04:03.83]B:If a typhoon is expected to hit within 24 to 48 hours.

[04:37.92]where you can not be hit by glass that's flying around

[04:45.44]A:Have you ever experienced 14 a big one?

[04:48.50]B:Oh,yes.It was a very frightening experience.

[04:52.75]A:What happened?

[04:54.92]B:When the storm hit we heard all of the windows breaking

[04:59.36] and furniture being pushed around.

[05:02.42]The roof made a cracking 15 noise,we thought it would be blowing away.

[05:07.28]Then the storm seemed to die down.

[05:10.94]But it was the eye of the storm.

[05:14.49]A few minutes later it came back with full force.

[05:18.15]I was afraid the whole house would be swept away.

[05:21.80]A:Have you thought of moving to another part of the country?

[05:26.35]Where there are fewer natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons?

[05:31.49]B:My husband and I have thought about that,

[05:34.65]but we really like Taiwan and we prefer to stay here.
